Vocal Coaching


Vocal Assessment/ First Lesson

New students are assessed before commencing lessons to determine the strengths and weaknesses of their voice, in order to devise a program to suit your needs.

 

The first lesson, takes the form of a vocal assessment which runs from 45-90 minutes. This assessment is to evaluate vocal range, breath support and management, pitch and intonation, articulation, and basic musicianship, style interpretation etc. and also to ascertain if there are any potential vocal health problems.

 

New students are free to sing their own songs in the assessment.

 

Voice Training Methods

Voice training include practices with various Sargam, renditions of notes up and down in various

combinations, Voice throws, correct pronunciations of the lyrics, Creating appropriate feel and emotion

for particular lyrics and compositions.

 

All the voice oriented lessons are accompanied by Tanpura, Keyboards, Harmonium or individual singing tracks.

 

We also use various music and computer technology and rhythmic instruments.

 

Every individual has unique voice culture and husk, vocal range and styles. All our lessons are tailor made

for each individual depending upon their vocal strength, stamina and skill.

 

Our aim is to reinforce your singing capability to transform into a versatile singer that can display intense emotion with the most appropriate feeling for recording studios, auditions, live performances and playback singing.
